I share everyone sadness in Chris's passing. We both shared a common interest in british bicycles and motorcycles. When I was lamenting the sale of a Raleigh Clubman which was too small for me (but which I had needed to sell to raise some cash for other projects), Chris offered to sell me a 1948 RRA which was my dream bike. I later found out that Chris sold it to me at a fraction of what he paid for it. That bike won "Best British" at the cirque this year. I was hoping Chris could have seen it restored. I will never sell it.
